Control elements
A control element is a process design element that controls the progress of a process, and which is not an activity.
You can get to the control elements:
-
From the Process designer with the Elements pane on the left of the process sheet,
-
From the Process templates, by clicking the page menu options and selecting Control elements.
Omada Identity includes the following control elements:
| Control Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Split | A split is a control element used to indicate that the process continues in two or more parallel processes, which meet up again later in the process using a join control element. |
| Join | A join is used to merge two tracks in processes which were previously split up. The join waits until all activities on both tracks are completed before it ends the parallel run. |
| Decision | A decision is a control element which is used for controlling the further progress of the process. In a decision, you define the conditions for whether the process will continue and through which transition. |
| Condition | A condition is a control element acting as a separator between two transitions, each executing an event, and as a "wait for all sub-processes to complete" element. |
| Sub process | A sub process is a process within another process. A sub process is initiated from the main process. There are two types of sub-processes: Blocking - The main process cannot continue until the sub process is completed. Nonblocking - The main process continues regardless of whether the sub process is completed. |
